TIMP Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 4, Tissue Inhibitor Of Metalloproteinases 4, Tissue Inhibitor Of Metalloproteinase 4, TIMP-4, Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 4.

Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4 (TIMP4) is a member of a family of secreted proteins which regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of the zinc enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases. The four known members of this family are TIMP1, 2, 3 and 4. TIMP4 is produced by various tissues, particularly the brain, heart, ovary and skeletal muscle. Limited studies have shown that the TIMP4 protein has a tumor suppressive effect against Wilm92s tumor, exhibiting a negative correlation with glioma malignancy and is found in breast carcinoma cells.

TIMP4 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 204 amino acids (30-224 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.5kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa).?
